Universal Sin
I see you, brother
The way you live
Your connection to the land
Your tribe's tenacity
It's like humanity
But my God has greater plans
His voice is in my head...
I'll deem you Other
That is the way
I justify my blood-drenched hands
Do you forget your crimes
Just before I arrived
Against your so-called fellow man?
(His voice was in your head)
Consider the stones you cast upon me
The untold blood spilled by your hand
I only do what you'd do to me
We're brothers in Universal Sin!
A story that's as old as time
Still it seems there's no end in sight
Once again we'll redraw these lines
By divine right, I'll take what's mine
I only do what you'd do to me
If only you had the might
There is no end to history, you'll see!
I only do what you'd do to me
There is no end to history, you'll see!
(again and again and again, amen)
You want the war to end?
But when did it begin?
Can't you understand...
We are killers – We've always been
We are killers – Until the end
We are killers – We've always been
We are killers – Until the end
Clutches (originally by Nausea)
I am the non-creator
For man has created his own lord
I am the anti-master
Their [lord] god rules with a blood stained sword
Their slavery is based on deception
Their chains are tightly bound
The holders of the keys
Shall lock us to the ground
The power for the people
Not for their promised land
The power for the people Utopia [shall] crumble(s) into sand
The created god on which you rely
Shall rule you until you die
The book continues to hold them
But still never questioned why
Would you allow your life to be taken
By the clutches of just one hand?
Would you allow your life to be taken
By the clutches of just one man?
Would you ever
Understand what their lies are about?
Will you ever
Understand?!
